And yet you have no problem working for a man who signed an executive order to protect “religious liberties” to allow so-called “Christians” to deny service to anyone they don’t like (also known as people of color and those who are LGBTQIA). Of all the lies that have spewed forth from your vile mouth, “I always do my…

Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me

No. Just a big old no to all of this. Rape is rape, forced separation of families is barbaric, Trump is bad.

I wonder if any of the writers are parents. I wonder if they understand they’ve created deliberately helpless characters.

I made a comment earlier that I’m not invested in the show for the torture. I’m in it to win it. I want to see resistance, violent resistance.

I started sobbing as the second Hannah came on screen, I’ve never cried like that over a television show. What spooky relevance. What horror. I can’t wait for season 3 – hopefully by then this will seem like a much more outlandish science fiction piece.

I read that the producers have plans for up to 10 seasons ending up after the fall of Gilead and showing Nuremberg-like trials. I want to see Gilead come crashing down, but I don’t know if I can handle 10 misery-filled seasons (even though I love the show and the performances).

The empty look in Hannah’s eyes gutted me.

I would love to get an episode that focuses on Rita and the lives of the Marthas. How that part of the system came into being. I mean, it seems rooted in racism, of course, but is it a sort of punishment, or is it a job? What separates the Marthas from, say, the family June met earlier in the season? We know that they…

It was a wonderful bit and a stern reminder that Gilead is not America. They may occupy the land, but Gilead is not America. I look at our Bill of Rights to remind me of what an incredible Country it is.

Things that popped into my mind with this episode:

One of the best and most powerful scenes of the series. It reminded me of the “La Marseillaise” scene in Casablanca(which was intentional, I’m sure), which had me sobbing in the middle of a crowded film studies class.

That you, Fred?

Also. The scene where everyone starts quietly singing America the Beautiful; Moira sobbing, Luke leaving verklempt. Goddamn.

There is nothing to be gained from failing to call the ceremony rape. I think you misunderstood the book. Atwood was not writing about the lengths civilization will go to save itself from a fertility crisis. She was writing about the very real risks of overy patriarchy using any crisis to reassert itself. The…

I want a movie about this guy where the plot twist is that is his climbing skills are from robbing the rich to free children from trafficking rings and he risked his cover to save this baby. The French government discovers this almost immediately and offers him the job with the fire department as cover to continue his…

I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, so I’ll whisper it
